[QUOTE="slsh, post: 125474, member: 8"] Hi there and welcome. I agree with posting over in the Special Education forum as well because they are the experts over there. In my lay opinion, since you're talking behavior modification, I think you need to request a functional behavioral analysis (FBA) from the SD. The way they've worked with my kid is a behavior specialist (yes, our district actually had a contracted behavior specialist, small miracles!) came in and observed behaviors for an hour or two a day, several days over a period of weeks. Then the IEP team (of which you are a full member, don't forget) sat down and we developed a behavior management plan (BMP). A good BMP should use positive behavioral interventions as opposed to jumping straight to punishments. I have to admit, we've never had a useful BMP for thank you because he actually flips out after getting positive reinforcement - go figure. But if your son does respond to positive reinforcements, I'd really try to focus on that as you develop the BMP. For stuff like forgetting assignments, that could be covered in the regular old IEP - what do you think would work for you and your son? Copy of lesson plan and assignments for the week sent home (or emailed to you) at the beginning of the week? Assignment book that parent and teacher sign off on daily? I don't know... what works for you at home? I'm not sure what helps in terms of getting the assignments *back* to school, or out of the locker into the classroom - I'm having a heck of a problem with my 13 y/o on that!! Anyway, just a few random thoughts from just a mom - please do post over in sped 101. Again, welcome and glad you found us! [/QUOTE]
